I have a melody for the Chorus that works, sadly not the verses. The Final Chorus is slightly different lyrically and will be sung higher than the previous w/the first line being dragged out, more dramatic and higher. Thanks for any thoughts!!
Update: Offering a 2nd optional bridge, please let me know which one you favor if you wouldn't mind and if you prefer the 2nd bridge do you like the "willing" or the "ready"??


“Let’s Start Now” (slow/mid-tempo Pop)
©2008 Lynn Orloff

You’ve been my friend and confidante’,
That someone I can trust,
We’ve shared the very best of times,
And we won’t give that up,
But you and I know this is going somewhere else for sure,
When love is all around us, it’s too hard to ignore...

Let’s start now,
We'll put aside pretenses,
Let’s start now,
We’ll tear down all these fences,
You’ve always been a touch away,
I think it's time, today’s the day,
We’ll let love show us how,
Baby let’s start now.

Yesterday has come and gone,
Tomorrow’s far away,
It’s time to let our hearts take charge,
There’s no more words to say,
It’s obvious that this has gone far past a friendship stage,
I know you feel the way I do, so help me turn the page..

Let’s start now,
We'll put aside pretenses,
Let’s start now,
We’ll tear down any fences,
You’ve always been a touch away,
I think it's time, today’s the day,
We’ll let love show us how,
Baby let’s start now.

Bridge:
There’s no time like the present,
And I don’t wanna wait,
We’ve kept our hearts on hold so long,
Why should we hesitate…

Let’s start now,
Let’s put aside pretenses,
Let’s start now,
We’ll tear down any fences,
You’ve always been a touch away,
The time is here, today’s the day,
We’ll let love show us how,
Baby let’s start now.

Final Chorus
LET'S....START....NOW, (MODULATION HERE)
We’ve waited for this moment,
Let’s start now,
It’s ours and we can own it,
Look into my eyes you’ll see,
The better part’s about to be,
We’ll let love show us how,
Just let love show us how,
Baby let’s start now.


2nd optional Bridge:

Crossing the line's never easy,
There's no going back once you do,
It's a chance that I'm willing/ready to take,
Please tell me that you're willing/ready too....
